      It should work. You just got to make sure you use the right picturs for the right clothes, as sims do not run in the same order in the UIC as they do on the site.

      Well I actually think I did it wrong as I never had instructions or anything. I'm on a mac by the way and using Postal to change my covershots so I don't know how to do it. :mrgreen:

      Hmmm....did you change the pictures format to a .png? They won't show up in the UIC as an option to replace the picture if they are in another format.

      Sorry...that's the only thing I could think of...I don't know how to use a Mac. :(

      I hope someone with a mac will post here, I think it's a .png though.

      Hi Will

      Zinda's UIC is now available on Mac, just go here to download:

      http://www.zindasgoldensims.com/

      The new features (copied from site)
      •Allows replacing of images, in any valid Sims3Pack file.

      •Only changes the images that are used when uploading to sims3.com, leaving images in game unchanged.

      •NEW! Supports JPG, BMP, PNG, TIFF, GIF image formats. (You no longer have to convert your images to PNG files)

      •NEW! Automatically resizes images to correct dimensions. (You no longer have to resize to 512x512, although a square image will look best)

      •NEW! Now compatible with Accessories, Clothing, Hair Colors, Households, Lots, Objects, Patterns, Sims, Tattoos and Worlds.

      •NEW! Calculates CRC-64 checksums for replacement images. (May reduce problems with uploading, when an image has been changed)

      •NEW! Now fully compatible with Windows 7/Vista. No more annoying errors!

      I find it works perfect for Sims and lots though I run a PC, I hope this works for you :)
